Virginia Lake is 'the perfect' spot for a walk or picnic or just to stretch your legs. It has a walk-through bird enclosure, botanical garden building that changes with the seasons, a cafe and lots of grass.

Of course, there are also lots of ducks. They know you have food. The want some. They are not shy about it.

We harassed the ducks by feeding the birds on the hood bonnet of the car. The birds are not shy, either, but they don't attack you en masse.

Needless to say, most of the gardens are quite breath-taking and we take lots of photos, but I thought I'd show you a few of the 'extras' that make the festival more fun. Click here for last year's post.

I take a lot of pictures of the flowers in my garden. A lot. No, really, lots and lots. I guess that is because I never had a proper flower garden before and the details of each bloom enthrall me. You wouldn't believe the amount of macro shots I have, but I understand that not everybody is as interested in my garden as I am so... I put together some quick pages for your perusal. I hope you enjoy them. They were all taken on our rented quarter-acre of space.
